AN OBSERVATORY.

Professor Alexander Of the Govern
ment Survey, has favored us with the
perusal Of circular from Mr. Edward
c, Pickering, Director Of Harvard Col
lege Observatory. Those in charge of
the Observatory are looking about for
a suitable site for a station. Itappears
that by the win Of the late Uriah A..
Boyden, property, the present value of
which exceeds $4,000, was left in
trust for the purpose Of astronomical
research, Eat such an elevation as to
be free, SO far as practicable, from the
impediments to accurate observations
now existing, owing to atmospheric in
fuences." The Trustees Of the Fund
have transferred the property to the
President and fellows OF Harvard Col.
lege. The object Of the circular is to
elicit Information relative to climate,
accessibility, altitude, and geographical
position. Of points which may be sup
posed suitable. A location in the
southern hemisphere will be preferable
for various reasons, one Of which is
that "the southern stars invisible in
Europe and the United States have
been less observed than the northern
stars, and by the aid Of a southern sta.
ton the investigations undertaken at
Cambridge can be extended upon a
uniform system TO all parts Of the sky
There is no doubt that Professor
-Ai-----s,e.----ili be able to show chat the
Hawaiian Islands are fully qualified to
fulfil some, if not all, Of the required
conditions.

Base Ball Mascot.

1t is now fashionable in the East
for every base ball club to have a
mascot. The Zephyrs, of this city.
have fixed on costing as a mascot.
When they formed their club a Cos
ling waddled in at the door, and
they considering it a good omen
adopted it as their mascot, and it
will be carried about the State when
they play. If it brings them good
luck in the first game they will hold
it through the season, but if mt
they will 0ehead the gosliDg with
imposing ceremonies and fix on
something else.
The selection of a mascot for a
base ball club is the most serious
business that a club can indulge in.
Ali that club needs now days to
bring it luck is a good base ball
mascot. Good players are not
specially, needed. A good mascot
carries the game right along.

splintering her comb and lodging in the
lounge, By the flash of the pistol she
recognized Brown standing over her, re-
yolyer in hand. As she sprang to her

he had cut a ~frightful cash in his throat,
